OUR EXPERIENCE AND PLANNING DELIVER A BETTER BUILDING
Our Approach
BBI goes above and beyond the standard.
GENERAL CONTRACTING SERVICES
We handpick the ideal team for your project.
In choosing BBI Construction as your general contractor, you have hired a company with deep knowledge of the construction process, Bay Area material costs and subcontractor resources. Your BBI team works collaboratively with you and your designers at every step of the process and we provide regular progress reports
1: Pre-construction
- BBI assists in evaluating the design team’s scope documents.
- Our team will provide recommendations that can lead to a faster buildout with lower labor and material costs, without sacrificing quality.
- Often, we present updated cost estimates as the GMP develops.
The work we do upfront ensures you meet your goals.
2: Value Engineering
- BBI submits additional estimates and schedules as the planning process evolves.
- We create a second estimate when construction drawings and specifications are ready.
- We use these specs to solicit subcontractors and adjust the budget estimate accordingly.
- Typically, we present cost estimates and schedules three times as the GMP develops.
Throughout the planning and estimating process, we keep in contact with you and your designers to ensure we stay true to your priorities while delivering the most cost-effective construction solutions.
We bring a seasoned eye to schedules and estimates.
3: Construction
BBI Construction provides close oversight of our construction crews to maintain high standards of quality, efficiency, and safety.
- BBI has well-seasoned carpenters and laborers who work closely with our Superintendents.
- For some scopes of work, we use subcontractors to meet budget constraints.
We pride ourselves on quality craftsmanship and a safe worksite.
4: Design/Build
Clients have the option for Design/Build, in which our subcontractors work with your designers to meet your performance specifications. Design/Build has the advantage of speeding the planning and better containing costs.
- Means and methods, scheduling, and the program are developed concurrently.
- Budget decision making is optimized while reducing pre-construction and installation durations.
Design/Build speeds the build and trims the budget.
5: Modular and New Approaches
BBI Construction is committed to finding better ways to build that use sustainable materials and protect the environment. Modular housing and panelized systems both show great promise, and BBI is investing time and energy into researching practical solutions.
